  What's your Hotspot detection method? If set to Player Vicinity, you can opt to place distance Hotspots on a separate layer (DistantHotspot), which you could raycast for in a custom script to handle a default interaction.

  Otherwise, you could make the check in a custom Action:

  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  
  #if UNITY_EDITOR
  using UnityEditor;
  #endif
  
  namespace AC
  {
  
      [System.Serializable]
      public class ActionRename : ActionCheck
      {
  
          public int constantID = 0;
          public int parameterID = -1;
          public GameObject gameObject;
          protected GameObject runtimeGameObject;
  
          public float maxDistance = 10f;
  
  
          public override ActionCategory Category { get { return ActionCategory.Player; }}
          public override string Title { get { return "Check distance"; }}
          public override string Description { get { return "Checks the distance of an object to the Player."; }}
  
  
          public override void AssignValues (List<ActionParameter> parameters)
          {
              runtimeGameObject = AssignFile (parameters, parameterID, constantID, gameObject);
          }
  
  
          public override float Run ()
          {
              return 0f;
          }
  
  
          public override bool CheckCondition()
          {
              if (runtimeGameObject && KickStarter.player)
              {
                  float distance = Vector3.Distance (runtimeGameObject.gameObject.transform.position, KickStarter.player.transform.position);
                  return distance <= maxDistance;
              }
              return false;
          }
  
  
          #if UNITY_EDITOR
  
          public override void ShowGUI (List<ActionParameter> parameters)
          {
              parameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("GameObject:", parameters, parameterID, ParameterType.GameObject);
              if (parameterID >= 0)
              {
                  constantID = 0;
                  gameObject = null;
              }
              else
              {
                  gameObject = (GameObject) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("GameObject:", gameObject, typeof (GameObject), true);
                  constantID = FieldToID (gameObject, constantID);
                  gameObject = IDToField (gameObject, constantID, false);
              }
  
              maxDistance = EditorGUILayout.FloatField ("Max distance:", maxDistance);
          }
  
          #endif
  
      }
  
  }
  

  Start the Interaction with this, and then have it either give the "too distant" response, or the regular reaction depending on its output.

  This check can be moved to a generic ActionList and parameterised to avoid repeating for each Hotspot interaction, but see if this approach works for you first.

  Thanks for that, Chris! I'll give it a go and let you know how it turns out.
